Busted! KPMG Blatantly Plagiarized from Corcoran In Its Yards Report

Mega-consulting firm KPMG got big bucks to prepare a market study report for ESDC that was used to justify all sorts of overly-optimistic assumptions about the future of the real estate market. Sounds like they should have kicked some of that dough Corcoran’s way though, since they highly-paid execs indulged in a liberal dose of the old cut-and-paste in its preparation of the report. More details on Atlantic Yards Report, which broke the story.

I think it was the firm Abraham and Son. The report was titled: “The pros and cons of killing your son versus ignoring a divine request.” Those bullet points made their way into the Atlantic Yards environmental impact study.
